Eriocapitella japonica along with four other taxa (E. hupehensis, E. vitifolia, E. tomentosa, and E. × hybrida) are known as fall-blooming anemones. [12] Like E. hupehensis , E. japonica flowers from July to October in its native habitat.
Together with several closely related species and hybrids between these species, in horticulture these plants are often referred to as Japanese anemones. [ 2 ] The specific epithet hupehensis , which means "from Hupeh (Hupei, Hubei ) province, China", [ 3 ] refers to a region where the species is known to occur.

Coastal California is heavily influenced by east–west distances to the dominant cold California Current as well as microclimates.Due to hills and coast ranges having strong meteorological effects, summer and winter temperatures (other than occasional heat waves) are heavily moderated by ocean currents and fog with strong seasonal lags compared to interior valleys as little as 10 mi (16 km) away.
Further research shows that an intensifying low-pressure system off Alaska’s coast has become more likely to seed powerful storms and create energetic waves along the West Coast. Climate change ...
Numerous plant communities exist in California and botanists have attempted to structure them into identifiable vegetation types groupings. Robert Ornduff and colleagues Phyllis M. Faber and Todd Keeler-Wolf did much work on this problem, and in the 2003 Natural History Guide Introduction to California Plant Life [citation needed] established a cohesive set of titles to identify California ...
Monstrous waves continue to wreak havoc along the California coast, where beachside communities have been facing damaging flooding and life-threatening water conditions as a series of storms makes ...
